The show spotlights 100 female artists from Nell Brinkley to Tillie Walden, and provides a reminder that as long as there have been comics, there have been female cartoonists. GREAT female cartoonists.

Comix Creatrix: 100 Women Making Comics is the UK’s largest ever exhibition of work by pioneering female artists working in the comics medium. It presents original artwork from 100 innovative creators – much of it never been seen in public before – and debunks the myth that women have a limited stake in the world of comics. The exhibition recognises the extraordinary variety of comics by women; from observational comedy to surreal fantasy, challenging biography to subversive protest.

This exclusive digital guide has been created by SEQUENTIAL to accompany the exhibition, and features over 200 pages of artwork and information from Comix Creatrix, including work by Audrey Niffenegger, Posy Simmonds, Emma Vieceli, Hannah Berry, Isabel Greenberg, Suzy Varty, and many more.

With a stunning mix of original artwork and final pages ranging from ranging from 18th Century caricatures through underground comix and all the way to the present day, Comix Creatrix: The Digital Guide gives a fascinating overview of women’s undeniable and indispensible part in the evolution and growth of the comics medium.
